Fergie Celebrates Her Son Axl’s 12th Birthday with Rare Photos

Big girls don’t cry—especially not on their son’s milestone birthdays. Fergie took to Instagram to mark Axl’s 12th birthday by sharing a series of rare photos of her son, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Josh Duhamel.

The images revealed Axl enjoying quality time with his famous mom, attending a Los Angeles Dodgers game, playing soccer, and having fun. She captioned the post, “Axl Jack, the preteen. 🥹🥹. I am proud of how independent you’re becoming and what a kind person you are.”

Fergie also shared photos of Axl and his mom out and about, including moments with a giant guitar and celebrating his birthday with cake. She expressed her joy in watching him grow and discover new interests, calling him her “little Punky Pie” because of his love for pumpkin pie. “Discovering everything you’re into and watching you grow brings such joy… I feel so lucky to be your mom,” she added.

The singer concluded her tribute with, “Happy 12th birthday punks! ✌️✌️.” Fans responded warmly in the comments, noting how much Axl has grown and complimenting his style and personality, with some calling him “handsome” and praising his cool hairdo.

Family and Parenthood

Fergie was married to Josh Duhamel from 2009 to 2019, and they welcomed Axl in 2013. Since their split, Duhamel has moved on with wife Audra Mari, with whom he shares a young son, Shepherd Lawrence.

While Fergie’s focus remains on her son, she has hinted at possibly expanding her family in the future, saying, “You never know. I never say never,” during a 2018 panel. She lovingly called her son her “Punky,” reflecting his love for pumpkin pie.

In a recent interview, Duhamel spoke about co-parenting Axl with Fergie, praising their shared commitment to raising a kind and compassionate young man. “We both have the same priority—raising a good son,” he said, emphasizing their ease of cooperation and mutual respect.
